10 months

Clay and I are still in shock that our sweet baby is 10 months old. Riley's personality is really shining now. She is so fun, sweet, happy, and active! She loves to explore everything and anything and is does not like to sit/lay still. (No one warned me how difficult changing diapers becomes after about 8 months.)

Here are some things Riley's up to:

-Riley is now standing on her own. (not usually for long periods of time, but several seconds)

-She will walk a few steps while holding onto furniture.

-Riley is pointing with her index fingers.

-She is can drink from a sippy cup (and has been able to for awhile.)

-She can wave hi and goodbye

-She understands the word no, but doesn't always obey. (She doesn't like to be told no.)

-She is saying mama and dada and babbling more.

-Riley loves to throw things, balls, toys, etc.

Probably one of my favorite thing she does now is while eating puffs she will offer one to me/Clay/whoever is feeding her. But after a few seconds or when we open our mouths to accept her puff offering, she will quickly stuff it in her face and giggle. She is already quite the jokester.

Riley what an amazing blessing you are! We love you!!
